—– I am losing one pound, by math, each five days or roughly each week. One pound has 3500 calories. And the average diet for an adult is 2000-2500 calories a day. That comes from the side of a cereal box. So each of my average days has a 700 calorie deficit. [Donate online to KeepYourHouse]

—– As an aside, I used to eat one pint of ice cream each day. And each standard pint, by any manufacturer, has 800 calories. That pint took the edge off the day and helped me sleep. While eating one pint each evening, I went from 200 pounds to 240 pounds in six months. And that pint also gave me a lot of energy, so I developed into doing chin-ups during those six months. But I did gain 40 unwanted pounds. [Donate online to KeepYourHouse]

—– I want to drop to 199, down from 240 pounds. Now that I have confidence in doing chin-ups, I want to get back to a manageable weight. And I expect to do that by running a 700-1000 caloric daily deficit, instead of slamming down a 700-1000 caloric daily excess. [Donate online to KeepYourHouse]
